"Will Amazon’s fuel surcharge irritate its marketplace sellers?
Amazon.com marketplace sellers who use the company’s fulfillment services will see a five percent temporary surcharge for shipments, starting April 28, attributed to rising fuel prices and inflation.
It is Amazon’s first such surcharge. Amazon raised fulfillment fees in January by 5.2 percent on average.
“In 2022, we expected a return to normalcy as COVID-19 restrictions around the world eased, but fuel and inflation have presented further challenges,” Amazon wrote in an email to sellers. “It is still unclear if these inflationary costs will go up or down or for how long they will persist, so rather than a permanent fee change, we will be employing a fuel and inflation surcharge for the first time, a mechanism broadly used across supply chain providers.”
